LA CROSSE, WI - The police chief in La Crosse says a county judge compromised courtroom safety when she told officers testifying in a police battery case to come to the trial unarmed.

La Crosse County Circuit Judge, Ramona Gonzalez, told three officers testifying in Mark Topness' trial Tuesday they could not wear their firearms or duty belts in the courtroom.

The La Crosse Tribune reports Gonzalez says her policy, enforced during jury trials, allows officers to testify without the distraction of their guns. The judge says a gun visible to jurors could be grounds for an appeal.

State Supreme Court rules allow judges to make that policy individually and on a case-by-case basis. Police Chief, Ron Tischer says stripping an officer of a gun is a serious safety issue in an emotionally-charged courtroom that could be prone to violence.

Judges commit many traffic violations and drive drunk and always refuse chemical tests. I see tickets and a dui in my crystal ball. But I could always sic the IRS on her by claiming she is a Tea Party member.

The chief effect of the Civil Rights Act has been to subjugate the decent, hard-working white man to a permanent overclass of incompetent minorities who could never compete with us on equal terms. Instead of being humble and appreciative that we put them there out of our sincere generosity in spite of their empirically-demonstrated consistent failure to achieve at our standard, they lord it over us like they're some kind of fucking demigods. This artificial overclass only becomes larger, more powerful, and more invulnerable to any possibility of positive change as time goes by. Instead of ensuring equality, civil rights legislation has been exploited and warped beyond all recognition in order to enslave whites to blacks and browns.
